  • Title: [Krypton laser treatment of neovascularizations in angioid streaks].
    Author: van Eijk AW, Oosterhuis JA.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1987 Dec; 191(6):443-8. PubMed ID: 2450221.
    Abstract:
    Krypton laser photocoagulation was performed in 15 eyes of 13 patients with angioid streaks associated with disciform lesions. Treatment was successful in seven eyes; in eight eyes subfoveolar recurrences developed, resulting in loss of central vision. Angioid streaks running through the macular area and a diffuse maculopathy stimulate recurrences of neovascular outgrowth at the posterior pole.
